Garden Rubbish




Some Owners have recently been clearing their gardens and dumping the rubbish on the roadside in Mi Sol, see attached photos for examples.
This is not only unsightly and inconsiderate to other Owners, but is very dangerous in these hot dry conditions of the Summer months. These piles of rubbish could easily catch fire with possible disastrous consequences.
Just this week a local free paper ran an article issued by the Town Hall on how this type of garden rubbish should be disposed of. Small, easily handled pieces should be taken to a "green" skip placed in various locations. For larger pieces, such as in the photos, there is a phone number on the office wall, to have a lorry sent to collect it free. An alternative would be to hire a skip from as little as Euro 45, and dispose of it that way.

It is not the job of the Gardener to move these large quantities of private rubbish, however if it is cut up in small pieces and placed in plastic bags he will be happy to remove it. Owners must take responsibility for disposal of their own rubbish.

This is an opportune moment to remind all Owners that under a ruling by the Town hall, it is prohibited to destroy ANY tree, without prior permission.
